Our summer is slowly coming to an end. I like this time of year though, the days are still nice but not brutal hot, and the nights cool right down. Need to start thinking about winterizing my hose before the nights start to go below zero. I added an air compressor fitting to my plumbing a while back to make it easier to do that, and also make it easier to work on plumbing in general, but have not really tested that out yet.

We need to invent some way to allow people to migrate to an area with a climate they'd prefer to live in. Something with one or more rotating round cylinders on the ground to reduce drag, and a platform on top to stuff all your shit onto.

We could use horses to pull it. Even better if it has some way to control which direction it goes. Impossibru, but I can dream.

Even better if it was free to do.

Happens every single day in summer. It was way higher in July 2022 when we were near rolling blackouts and large commercial users were voluntary shutting down for rebates, but solar is saving our asses this summer.

I love summer. It's not all that hot where I live, only a few uncomfortable days a year. My BD was ~1 week ago, and everything's great. My plums and tomatoes just reaching ripeness, pickable. If I could pick a BD it would be mine, perfect. I can play golf.

Ugh 16 more days of 100+ and we set a record for most days of 100+ in a year in San Antonio. Also, he's our 14 day forecast

And last summer was the hottest ever recorded in San Antonio, though this one looks like it's going to beat it.

64 last night. 83 today.


When nights cool like that, I open all windows and doors to let as much as possible in. Then about 8AM, I close most everything and the house stays cool most of the day.

Abnormally cool for this time of year though. Next week back to 90s and 70s, which means at least some AC
